Looking for a beta?

Would someone mind too terribly beta'ing a Hollows fic for me?  No particular rush.  It's just taken me a while to pound someone out and I think half of it's a mess so I'd really appreciate it if someone would be willing to take a look at it with a razor keen eye and a red pen of doom.

A Couple Of Questions

I have just a couple of questions for you before I recklessly jump in with a yes. First, about how long a fic would I be betaing? Secondly, what are you most looking for help with? Are you most looking for help with spelling, grammar, organization, or all of the above? I can help with all of these, but I want to know if there is anything you wish me to focus specifically on, since different people I've helped with this kind of thing have wanted help with different aspects of the story.
Thanks,
Queen Bella

It's round about 8,000 words. Yes, I know, it's lengthy. Yikes! I can't believe it either.

I look for help with spelling, grammar and typos. I'm awful about typos. I also appreciate it you pointing out any plot holes, or inconsistencies that you see, or anything that really hits you so wrong about the fic that it throws you out of the story. Anything you don't like for whatever reason, I'd like to know about it.

If you do feel like taking this on, feel free to be as brutal as you'd like with it. I enjoy having every little flaw pointed out to me. I'd rather my beta show it to me than have it pointed out to me later.

So...still game? I know it's long.

Hi Jaina,

Yeah, I'm still game. Send it to me any time you like at liamskitten@gmail.com, and I'll have it back to you as soon as possible.

Cool. Thank you so much. It should be on its way.
